Thanks so much everyone for your super feedback - THANK YOU - Your honesty and support is so appreciated.
I really am worn out and scared about how further slumps will affect me now. I really dont want to leave hubby I want to leave the PTSD.....(!)
We had a good relaxing day yesterday...
Dear super people
I dont know how much more of the mood swings I can take.....
Has anyone ever said this to their PTSD suffering partner???
I am wondering if perhaps the carrot doesn't work - ie support perhaps the stick could - ie "I am not coping, I want us to be together and excited...
Thank you amazing ladies.....
Well we won the appeal so it is confirmed that hubby isnt well enough to work we we get a tiny amount of £'s just really that goes towards petrol and 'pocket money' for hubby.
He still isnt fully back from the slump - I have 20 min and then need to pick my son...
Thanks Wife Of - I called the Mental Health Team and already having waited for months they said you are now on the waiting list and you hopefully will get someone in 4 months!!!
I said that we couldnt wait that long at all.
We are now going to see one of the team in 2 weeks - we saw him for...
Some great advice on this thread....
I said to hubby today that it is not acceptable to talk to me how he does at times....
I am seeing a new councellor myself and she said ....
If you had a child with say down syndrome you still wouldnt let them be rude to others - Dont just say its PTSD...
I just saw my post and saw that it from from 8 months ago :O(
Hubby didnt not know me again on New Years Eve - He is taking anti depressants and on New Year Eve had several large alcholic drinks..... He knows he shouldnt but that didnt stop him.
He is on a downer again - and had 2 bottles of...
Dear Wife Of
I do hope that you are as OK - well as OK as you possibly could be
My hubby was also good over Xmas - although New Years Eve he asked me "what my name was" After being together since we were 18 and now 41...... Another slump tonight after a few good days. How they can just...
Dear Spousecoping

We have had 2 OK days and yesterday was the best hubby had been in ages.
We invitied his mum round for dinner and had a nice evening on Monday.
Yesterday he did have some flashbacks while out - however he handled it and was OK. So much so that we even went to London for a small...

Oh well!

She said I must create some ME...
Another Aquarian!!

HI Darran - Thanks so much for telling me and others about the charity - I called them today too.
I wondered - do you work for them? Or simply had such great results that you want to share with others?
Either way its fine of cousre - just wondering....!!
Thanks again and looking forward to...
Looking forward to hearing more.....
I called and Sharon seemed to think that they can help hubby - asked for my email too.
I did wonder as I didnt say much about why my hubby has PTSD and although she seemed very nice and helpful I got the feeling that perhaps she needed to be elsewhere and...
Amethist - I am on the edge of my seat reading this and cant wait to hear more!
Amazing for you you both.
I called Sharon earlier and had a chat - after a message from Darran too.
They say that the charity is run by volunteers only and is all based on donations - and that the 4 day courses...
Thanks so much Simplekindofgirl!!

Thanks Seeking Serenity :O)
I do try my best - of course like we all do on this amazing forum :O)
I am naturally a bubbly person - do TV and radio presenting a little and people say that they enjoy being around with me.However I feel that hubby wants to knock this out of me - he does things...
Yes it does Toria and I wish I had the answers for us both!
I also keep hubby from the financial side of things as best I can as he just goes to pieces badly - Lack of £'s brings all of his PTSD symptoms on a great deal....
Hubbys work was separate from mine however he had to re train in...
THANKS YOU so much for your wonder support and birthday wishes too.
I asked hubby how his brother was and he said "Oh we are going out for a drink next week in London"
He HATES going to London.
He has been a few times in the past 4 months and it has not been great - to the point of...
A good point 19Dlvr - However I think it just happened too quickly - within 3 minutes...... Something to think about however.....
I am sorry to hear that your man doesn't continue with the tools - I know my hubby finds it impossible sometimes too - although we still continue to get help...
In the grand scheme of things this does sound really silly.....
However its my birthday in just over a week.
I can hear hubby downstairs talking to his brother....
They are talking about meeting for a drink next week - Hubby saw his other friend 2 nights ago.
Last year was a special 40...
